| A review of human history, activity and technology shows that since the beginning of human creation, the changes in the environment and human needs have gone together as an inseparable factor. Cities are complex systems that recent changes in people's lifestyles have caused the emergence of non-communicable diseases among city residents. In addition, in recent decades, the world has witnessed a variety of emerging infectious diseases, some of which have become global pandemics. This article is, to the best of our knowledge, the first and most comprehensive review to assess the relationship between urban form characteristics and urban health with an emphasis on epidemics. In this research, the purpose of epidemic diseases is all types of diseases related to the aspects of urbanization, including communicable and non-communicable diseases. Through a systematic review, we first compiled characteristics of urban form that influence urban health and then identified potential synergies and trade-offs between these dimensions. A framework based on health-oriented urban form is proposed that combines the interlinkages between urban form and urban health. Providing a new holistic perspective on the subject. Looking at the relationships of communicable and non-communicable diseases, physical and non-physical dimensions of urban form and technology and nature simultaneously may help to provide practical guidance in more effective design and management of green spaces that benefit all dimensions. |
